When I came to her jewelry box, I picked out a few items that I remembered from childhood and gave the rest to my aunt, her sister, who had taken such care of Mom through the years.Greta Koehlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526785811735329940.post-45611835225080453052009-04-10T21:22:00.000-07:002009-04-10T21:22:00.000-07:00A beautiful, touching story!A beautiful, touching story!Debbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00565302178384332096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526785811735329940.post-21824600749070152062009-04-10T18:12:00.000-07:002009-04-10T18:12:00.000-07:00Dr. DNA:Good to hear from you, and thank you for t...Dr. DNA:<BR/><BR/>Good to hear from you, and thank you for the kind words.<BR/><BR/>It's in the genes I'm afraid.

I think the most prized is my grandmother's engagement ring which she gave me for my 50th birthday. I broke my right ring finger a month ago and the ring had to be cut off. It can be repaired, but I miss seeing it on my hand. Unfortunately my finger is too swollen to wear it right now. It is a beautiful link to my mother and her mother. What a loving sacrifice your mother made for your family. I don't know if I could be as noble.lindaleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05774876428039197357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526785811735329940.post-5893264731833897852009-04-10T16:54:00.000-07:002009-04-10T16:54:00.000-07:00Dorene:Try this post on for size.
